Certified housing for use of standard tablets in ATEX Zone 2 and 22
New platform reduces engineering and installation effort while delivering high cost efficiency
An interview with David Hawley, ABB’s Global Head of Sales IEC LV Motors about the new IE6 Hyper-Efficiency motor technology for hazardous areas.
Certification confirms functional safety in accordance with IEC 61508 for human-machine interface for the process industries
Lower explosive limit monitoring for enhanced safety coverage in hard-to-reach areas
Even a minor surge can cause significant damage. The consequences range from sporadic PLC errors to the failure of entire system components. With increasing automation and networking, and a growing proportion of electronic components, systematic surge protection is becoming increasingly important. Pepperl+Fuchs offers efficient solutions from a single source. Authors: Andreas Grimsehl, Andreas Hennecke
Fixed focus, non-browning lens with compact footprint
It wasn’t too long ago that hazardous zones and production zones were reasonably well separated. The areas where explosive gases, vapors, or combustible dusts were present tended to stay in their own very specific environments, and the equipment operating in those areas was specified accordingly. Today, however, that distinction is less clear.
Certification to ATEX and IECEx requirements enables IE6 technology to be deployed in hazardous areas
Hydrostatic level measurement in hazardous areas
The fertilizer sector is caught in a global paradox between growing food to feed billions and the urgent need to decarbonise. Compressors present a largely overlooked opportunity to reduce lifecycle costs and carbon emissions, while enabling more sustainable production of ammonia. Author: Greg Gedney, Business Development Manager, Industrial Operations, Greene Tweed
Hanna Lundin, product engineer at Emerson, explains in this article how simplified tank monitoring system architectures make it more feasible for companies to implement an automated solution to improve their inventory management, increase safety and efficiency.
Maximum safety and availability for demanding industrial applications
Intrinsically safe copper-based Ethernet to ATEX Zone 1
Smarter Motion. Stronger Performance
With the growing complexity of technical plants, demographic shifts in the workforce, and increasingly stringent regulatory requirements, traditional methods of risk assessment are reaching their limits. To meet these challenges, TÜV SÜD has developed a digital approach, called iaHAZOP, that builds on established risk assessment methods and extends them into the digital domain. The process industry now has a tool that redefines the state-of-the-art in technical risk management.

Monitoring radioactive processes in high definition
Functional safety up to SIL 3 in potentially explosive areas
Functionally safe, reliable performance in the toughest industrial environments
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are essential for storing renewable energy and ensuring grid stability. However, their implementation comes with inherent risks, particularly related to lithium-ion battery fires.
